Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 9042 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 9042 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

9042 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 9042 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 15261.176727896 ft/s

The final result is:

9042 kt → 15261.176727896 ft/s

We conclude that 9042 knots is equivalent to 15261.176727896 feet per second:

9042 knots = 15261.176727896 feet per second
